Erin Moriarty Says She Feels 'Dehumanized' by 'Misogynistic Trolling' Over Her Role on The Boys

Erin Moriarty is standing up against internet trolls.

On Tuesday night, The Boys star — who plays Annie January/Starlight in the the Prime Video comic book adaptation — reposted an article on Instagram about the injustices she's been facing and opened up against the unfair treatment she's received online.

The article, published by a self-described "enthusiast" of the series on Medium, is titled "#IStandWithStarlight?: The betrayal of Erin Moriarty by The Boys 'fans'."

Among the comments made in the piece, the author wrote that the "majority of the audience will still fail to employ the lessons learned" throughout the show, including "how the toxicity of masculinity crushes and controls women."

Reposting some snippets of the op-ed, Moriarty, 28, wrote in the caption, "I do feel silenced. I do feel dehumanized. I do feel paralyzed."

She continued, "I've put blood, sweat, and tears into this role (over & over & over again). I've grown UP in this character's shoes (*emphasis on grown up — we change & evolve mentally AND physically)."

Moriarty then thanked the author, who goes by the user @butcherscanary, and added that the trolling "does break my heart." She continued, "I've opened up a vein for this role and the misogynistic trolling is exactly what this role (Annie) would speak out against."

"Everyone's going through their own battle(s); let's not add to that," she added, "I will never intentionally (and ESPECIALLY) publicly, add to yours."

The actress went on to say that all the trolling has "only strengthened my empathy muscle." She finished her caption by saying, "to anyone who comes at me: I see you, I don't hate you, I only empathize and forgive."
